They continue to do this and it drives me insane.
Make a decision, get community feedback, open a poll, and change course.
If they’re going to follow what the community wants, then just open the poll before making the decision. Goddamn.

Our efforts are to adapt to community response. We were confident in this being a good window to do a Cycle Refresh (as outlined in the poll). However after the announcement we saw a lot of discourse being against it occurring. Rather than hearing, and not doing anything, we seek to have an open discussion with the community and do what we can to gauge that feedback. Listening without being willing to adapt often doesn't really feel like listening at all.
Anything changing at this point is completely dependent on the feedback we get. If there is a strong overall response against the Cycle Refresh, then we will adapt to that feedback.
Our community is the most important thing for us, and so if the community thinks we're taking the wrong direction, we want to hear that, and work with our community to keep making Last Epoch the best it can be for everyone.
If 1.2 is still 3 months off (edit: and that's being generous. It's more like 4 months until January 2025 and they're saying Q1 instead of January for a reason, its most likely 5+ months before content updates) I think they need to beef up the cycle refresh and have what is essentially a 1.15 instead. What they have listed as part of the event is not nearly enough to entice me to come back for it.
I agree with the other post that the poll doesn't have enough options. If it were an option I'd have voted for a postponement of the cycle refresh to October (and hey that's thematic, undead in october) so that they can focus on packing it with as much content possible. The game is in desperate need of content so I'd be focusing on putting in as much small but meaningful content as possible if I were them. This game won't survive such long patch cycles.
As mentioned in the poll, a later Cycle Refresh is not something we can do due to how much the code changes internally for the 1.2 features. This is the only window during the 1.1 Cycle for a Cycle Refresh.
